Instant Information to Protect Yourself from Danger

Being forewarned about dangerous weather, a neighborhood evacuation or an emergency road closure has never been easier.
BC Alert gives you critical information during emergencies, with official notifications from local public safety and emergency
managers. The alerts will tell you where to go, what to do and how to stay informed and are available by text, email, cell phone,
home phone, work phone, instant messaging, or fax. So you’ll get instant access to information no matter where you are.

3 Steps to Get Free Emergency Alerts

It only takes three quick, easy steps to sign up for alerts about major emergencies, weather alerts, and more:

Create an account by filling in basic information about yourself, such as your name, e-mail, and address.

Select how you want to get alerts, such as on your cell phone, computer, tablet or home phone.

Choose the types of emergency alerts you want, ranging from community information, severe weather alerts to major emergencies.

Control How Many Alerts You Get

The enhanced system allows residents to pick and choose what kind of notifications they want to receive, as well as specify particular times
during the day when they would prefer to block any incoming notifications. The number of messages you get depends on how many types of
alerts you have signed up for and how many events occur in your area. You can customize your alert settings at any time to help adjust
the number of alerts you receive; including “quiet times” when you won’t receive messages.

Citizens that live and work in different jurisdictions in Benton County can sign up to receive alerts from multiple areas along their commute route.

In less than five minutes, customize free emergency alerts to your smartphone, computer, or tablet. Get instant access to information to protect
yourself and your loved ones.
